You might want to get the Dorman heater hose with the metal Y in it. It replaces the plastic Y in the system that's down by the water pump. I did it for both of my trucks and it's been perfect. Dorman does do a really good job on several parts for these rigs.Thanks Joeseph and 89surburban,
Based on your posts, I will go ahead and get the OEM Tees and send the SKP's back to RA. I certainly will wear gloves when replacing them.
I was not going to get the extensions becuase i'm putting the hose on the Tee using clamps.
Thanks
